Nellore: In what seems to be another unique style of campaigning chosen by political leaders, YSRCP MP V Vijaysai Reddy drove an auto while campaigning for the elections in his constituency Nellore in Andhra Pradesh on April 27, Saturday. Nellore Lok Sabha Constituency will go for polling on May 13 during Phase 4. Nellore constituency has always been a Congress stronghold. However, YSRCP has been clinching victory since past two general elections. In 2019, YSRCP's Adala Prabhakara Reddy defeated TDP's Beeda Masthan Rao and in 2014, YSRCP's Mekapati Rajamohan Reddy had defeated TDP's Adala Prabhakara Reddy. Andhra Pradesh saw back to back political churnings resulting in a major change in electoral dynamics.
